Whenever my yoga teacher tells me to relax and "soften my face" I always think of babies. A mental picture of their smiling faces helps me release tension and put a smile on my face. Inevitably, my mind always goes to this baby in particular...
...I can't believe Nathan is 7!
If only I could get him to smile at the camera like that again!
It's been awhile since I've posted but I didn't want to miss posting my usual Good Friday verse. You know, Dr. Seuss wasn't just concerned with the way words sounded but he also paid close attention to the way they looked on paper. I like the way this verse from Hebrews looks on the screen...like great drops of words. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!
I have a 9 year old!
My oldest turned 9 on March 6th and instead of making a birthday cake I made birthday cookies.
I love soft, chewy oatmeal cookies. Especially the ones my mom made when I was growing up. They were so good I thought it had to be a secret family recipe but I found out later that it was the recipe from the Quaker Oats box, ha!
So here's the recipe in all it's tried-and-true, memorable perfection...
Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
3 cups uncooked oats
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat together butter and sugars until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Stir in oats.
Drop rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.
Enjoyed by 9 year olds everywhere!
When you're approaching 84 in dog years...
...sometimes you have to sit back and let the young whippersnappers take care of business...
...thanks Indie!
